There WERE proofs in 1909, however the uneven rim makes me fairly sure this is not a satin proof

Could you please post photos of the whole obverse and reverse without such high contrast? I am 100% sure your coin actually looks nothing like the photos you posted.

Confused now...this is why in the future you should do 1 coin per thread. But if the very first new pic you posted is the vdb I really like it

He didn't ask if they were proofs, he asked if they were proof dies. Not the same thing. I believe the 1909 VDB proof obv was later used for business strikes, I don't believe the reverse was.
